What a great article! I'm glad to know someone else whose favorite of the series is Voyage. I've had it on good authority (by which I mean a very persuasive person I know asserts it vigorously) that The Silver Chair is the best of them, but I've always insisted that it's the Dawn Treader, for two reasons: a) Reepicheep is amazing, as you said, and b) Caspian is my first and dearest literary crush. It might have been different if I were younger, but Caspian stole my heart long before I ever met Bear.
